If it's shut down for a reasonable time - yes. If you intend to use the computer again in less than an hour - it's better to put it into sleep mode.

How do you make your computer come straight on?

You can put your computer in Hibernate mode. This will save your last session and resume from where you last left off. Waking a computer from hibernation takes half the time as turning it on from shutting down. However, you need to shut your computer down properly every now and again, to prevent damage. You can also put your computer into Sleep mode. It will come on as soon as someone touches it. However Sleep mode does not turn your PC off - so you are still paying for electricity if you put it in Sleep mode.

How do you use sleep mode?

When you tap the sleep key, the computer goes into a low power standby mode. Tapping the wake key brings the computer back up to a ready state. It is used instead of shutting down the computer because it is a faster way to get the computer up and running. Also, if you have a program running, there is no need to shut that off as it will be ready for you, where you left off when the computer wakes up. It is very similar to the 'hibernate' feature of many computers. Both sleep and hibernate are low power standby modes. I never use sleep mode because I see no advantage to being able to start up my PC that much faster than if I had just shut it down.


What is the difference between shutting down your computer and putting it into sleep mode?

Generally speaking, yes, it is better to put the computer to sleep than it is to shut it down, for two reasons: 1. It's better for you - resuming from sleep mode is a lot faster than going through the entire boot up process. 2. It's better for the computer - resuming operation from a low-powered state is less harsh on you computer components than when you jolt it alive by turning the power on from a shut down state.
